When it comes to dances about classical statues coming to life most people will probably think of Melanie and Marko's Contemporary from US8, but for me this very first routine which Dee Caspary produced for the show exemplifies it for me even more. The dramatic shapes Ashley and Ade form with their bodies which could very well just work as stand-alone freeze frames morph into each other in the most beautiful ways. The angular lines (the walk at 0:55) and circular, wavy movements looks so carefully crafted that it simply makes me speechless. The sequence leading up to the ending still is one of the most memorable moments in SYTYCD history for me.
